Include: the name and an optional short description of the band; time and date of the gig; bar name and address; cover charge; the bar's phone number for publication; and a contact number, not for publication, of someone who can be reached if we have questions.

You also may e-mail high-resolution jpeg-format band photos. Space for photos is limited, and we can't guarantee that they'll run.
